@crxssi: I suggest opening a new bug report. The issue discussed here

I am running vanilla Firefox 78.3.0 ESR under Linux and neither $DICPATH
nor the spellchecker.dictionary_path preference is working (also not
working in Firefox 68ESR). I have a customized medical dictionary that
I have used for many years under older versions of Firefox that I now
cannot use.

Please note that normally this package goes via the security workflow,
but this time we decided to push it through -proposed. Since this is not
a regular SRU (and is targeted to go into -security in the end), the
verification and release should not be performed without a +1 from the
uploader and
Great, thank you!

Is the fix going to be available in Eoan? I can confirm that setting
DICPATH works, but it'd be nice to have that handled automatically.

Thanks for the feedback.
Having /usr/lib/thunderbird/dictionaries be a symlink to
/usr/share/hunspell was an elegant way to reuse dictionaries installed
system-wide instead of re-packaging them specifically for thunderbird.
It's a bit of a shame to loose this functionality, but I understand this
Setting `DICPATH` to `/usr/share/hunspell` works indeed, thanks for the
tip Kris.
I understand the startup performance concern, but I think the trade off
is worth it, at least for users of the Ubuntu packages who are used to
having access to system dictionaries without the need to install
Given that there is indeed a way to load external dictionaries (the `DICPATH`
environment variable), I'm closing this bug.
Thanks Kris and Ehsan for your help.

If you want Thunderbird to use system Hunspell dictionaries, you can set
the `DICPATH` environment variable to point to the system dictionary
directory. I'm not particularly happy with that arrangement given how
expensive scanning and loading dictionary directories at startup, but I
recognize how

As pointed out by Kris Maglione in the upstream bug report, setting the
DICPATH environment variable to /usr/share/hunspell fixes the
regression.

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for the bug report. It has been a while since that patch was
landed so my memory may be a bit rusty, but I don't believe we
considered the use case of Linux distributions side-loading dictionaries
in this way...
Would it be a useful work-around to convert these dictionaries
Yes, we considered it. That directory was never intended for third-party
use. If you want to install distribution dictionaries specifically for
Thunderbird, you need to bundle them as extensions.

@kmag @ehsan @aswan: can you please comment on the above request?
At the moment I'm holding back on updating the Ubuntu packages to
version 68 in stable Ubuntu releases (it's only available in version
19.10 that was released yesterday) because from a user perspective this
is a regression.
